NOTES: * Missing KStN. This rendition is based on the other signal companies of this era, which used the same building blocks — the standard Sections — as used in this KStN. The company headquarters, the trains, and the platoon headquarters were all very similar, if not the same, in all signal companies, varying in whether the companies were operating radios or telephones; or were primarily equipped with horse-drawn, motor, or armored vehicles.
